Our large family was looking for a home within 2 hours of us to gather for a weekend to celebrate Christmas. We knew it would be a bit harder because we were wanting to stay close to home. We found this one, and it appeared to check all the boxes, and it had an indoor pool which was fantastic. Based off the pool, size of home, and pictures of the home we agreed the price was fair. Prior to booking we read all the reviews, and saw a few negative ones, and assumed that these were one offs. However, after arriving, our group also agreed. The owner is nice, and very good at communicating. The pool was the main attraction. It’s great that it’s indoor, and it goes from 3ft to 8ft. However, it was about 1.5 to 2ft lower than it should be due to lack of rain. We had take off the cover and put it back on after each use. There were hoses strung to the pool, an older stainless milk container and other items out. These should have removed because they were not in use by owner or guest. The home itself was outdated. It’s apparent that the pictures were taken some time ago, and taken to make the home look better than its current condition. The master bedroom does have a toilet, but it is in an old closet. The large oven in kitchen did not work, and seems to have not been working for some time due to previous reviews. The upstairs loft has a spiral staircase that has screws sticking out from the wood, and had clearly been thrown together. We also read previous reviews regarding no key code given during check in, and this appears to be a repetitive problem stating batteries were low. We were able to lock the door from the inside at night, but left it unlocked when leaving for day. We did have issues with buzzing light switches, poor water pressure, water leaking from sink in basement into cabinet drawer, and lack of cold water in home for drinks or hot water for showers. The home itself was very cluttered, outdated, and when in person you’re able to see that most of the home “improvements” have been done by someone who most likely is not experienced in home repair and remodel, and is just watching YouTube tutorials. You are also charged a higher cleaning fee, but I would also agree with a previous review and have to question if the cleaning fee is passed on to a professional. We have stayed in homes for larger families and have no issue with cost but we would agree that this was one is overpriced.
